A Journey Begins

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at Elena, who had fallen to the ground. She was so angry and amusing, she really was a stubborn child, and her tears were about to fall, but she still maintained a fierce appearance with teeth and claws bared, refusing to be gentle.

"Calm down, enrollment at Hogwarts has always been voluntary. I came here this time just to talk to you again."

During the speech, Professor McGonagall pointed to Elena's calf and asked gently.

"Does it hurt? Or should I check you over first?"

Although mocking at this moment seems excessive, Professor McGonagall's mood really lightened a lot with Elena's flat fall.

No matter how precocious, she is still just a child under eleven years old, the most childish, the most willful, the most arrogant, but also the cutest and the easiest to correct.

As if feeling the smile in Professor McGonagall's gaze, Elena gritted her teeth, stretched to lift the aching calf, hugged her knees with both hands and glared hostilely at the wizard in front of her.

"Give it back! Otherwise, everything is free!"

"If you promise to follow me to visit Hogwarts, I'll give you the grilled fish I have in my hand."

Professor McGonagall approached Elena. The grilled fish in her hand swung intentionally or unintentionally, observing the silent girl seated on the ground.

This time, the communication with Benítez exceeded Professor McGonagall's expectations. After briefly presenting the idea, Benítez showed exceptional cooperation.

Indeed, as Benítez said, Elena's greatest weakness lies in her delightful nature.

While the grilled fish in McGonagall's hands was swinging from side to side, the eyes of the little silver-haired girl couldn't help but lightly follow the grilled fish.

"Really?"

Upon hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Elena hesitated for a moment and repeated them with a suspicious tone.

"Just go to visit, nothing more?"

"Just a visit, and then I'll bring you back here again."

Professor McGonagall nodded and replied seriously.

"Deal!"

Elena's eyes rolled mischievously, and she accepted without hesitation, at the same time she extended her hands, and the expression turned serious again.

"Give me the fish back!"

"Well..."

McGonagall shrugged and reluctantly handed over the grilled fish to Elena. To be honest, she couldn't understand why such a clever girl was so obsessed with eating.

After chatting a bit with Benítez, she discovered that perhaps Dumbledore was thinking a bit more complicated: maybe the reason for the owl's eating was really just out of greed.

"Okay, can you follow me to Hogwarts now?"

Remaining silent until Elena finished eating the grilled squirrel, Professor McGonagall asked softly.

"Hiccup~"

The little silver-haired Lori squinted, gave a small happy hiccup, wiped the corners of her lips, stood up, shook off the grass stuck to her body, and the corners of her mouth curved.

Anyways, according to the Muggle Protection Law, as long as Elena did not actively attack Professor McGonagall, then Professor McGonagall could not use magic to deal with her. If she did magic on minors, she would be sought after by the Ministry of Magic, that would be a real joke.

Elena looked at Professor McGonagall with fear, and her small face filled with a smug smile, expecting to see the witch in front of her with an expression of error and helplessness.

"It doesn't matter, I know."

"Eh?" Elena was suddenly frozen, feeling uncomfortable.

Professor McGonagall smiled and said calmly, "So I put some diluted life and death water drops in the grilled fish."

On how to persuade Elena to go to Hogwarts, Benítez emphasized only three things from beginning to end.

First, don't try to reason with Elena.

Second, you will never be able to convince Elena.

Third, even if you persuade her, she will find a way to cheat.

"Life and death... what?!"

The silver-haired little loli's eyes widened in disbelief as she pointed at Professor McGonagall.

She hadn't finished speaking when a sudden strong attack of sleep invaded her, her eyelids became extremely heavy, her body weakened, and she fell asleep in the arms of Professor McGonagall.

"The next steps will depend on Professor Dumbledore." McGonagall hugged the sleeping girl and raised her wand in her right hand.

After a crackling sound in the air, the figures disappeared by the lake.
